- Blacksmithing - Forging A Viking inspired Garden Hoe 2019 Pure Forging. i Forged this hoe from an old viking tool find that i sketched many years ago. simple yet effective, made to fit a tapered handle which would make it easier for transporting when moving camp or carrying through thick wooded areas as you could just fit a stick to it on site.

Most of all, Thank you for watching. As always It's been a Pleasure making this.
That press is something else, wow!
Brilliant work! I've been a knifesmith for a while now and am expanding my work. To include garden and woodworking tools. This is a big help! Thanks!
That's cool! I'm going to be doing a lot more projects like this as I'm enjoying making things from the past. Hope everything goes well with the expansion!
@@workingwithiron thanks! Again! Looking forward to more!
I've.been doing hand work my whole life exercising my creativity, and you sir are a craftsman after watching 12 of your videos I'm impressed with your works. Keep up the good video I've enjoyed everyone of them.
Thank you very much Douglas, means a lot to me. Appreciate your feedback.
I could watch this all day. Clean forging!
Too kind grandad, appreciate your time!
Welcome Back!!
When that power hammer first started, I thought to myself "That's gotta be the fastest power hammer I have ever seen!" Then the video slowed down to normal speed and I was all "OH! I see."
Haha I know, I edited then watched it back, thought it was quite funny so left it in.

So good to see your videos my friend Nathan! I go back and watch them over and over. I've been away from my shop for almost a year with bad health, but will be back to work at the end of this month. I'm jumping with joy and nervous to see what my substitute welder has done to my shop. At least I'm back to what I love...
So much to see and to learn from, anvil position, working on and with the horne, bending symmetrical shapes and the left hand and piece doesnt move at all, an eye of a metalmastermind, controlling heat, hammer technic, your way of thinking the next step and back, Love your vids. Bolt jaw stil my favorite! Art in every form or way.
Thanks for understanding Luuk! You see a video how i wanted to get it across to the viewer, so thanks for letting me know this! What did you enjoy about the bolt jaws video more? always want to improve each time so feedback would be amazing, Thank you!
@@workingwithiron agreed. The composition of videography was spot on in my humble opinion. You kept the the focal point of your work in central frame and emphasized the angle and principle of attack drawing the viewers mind eye into not only what you were doing but the why and the intended results.
Its a subtle finesse many creators havent found yet as they strive for viewers and subs.
That said, please allow me to commend you on clean forging as well as great camera work. Its truely pretty clean and not ragged w unkempt hammer marks. Very nicely done sirSir. Though i cant comment on the authinticity of reproduction and time period, it would seem to fit into the general frame 950is to 1150ish.
In summation i found this to be a top tier video.
Ibregret ive but one like to give!
Blessings abundant to you,
Crawford out 🧙♂️
Working With Iron Nathan. That style of tong is in my eyes a piece of workable art. I have watched your video of that piece of Art about 15 times. One: its a long video and i like long vids. Two: every time i watch that (or others of yours) i notice something new. Little stuff but it makes a big difference. Tree: making blacksmiths tongs is very hard to do, and i love to make tongs. Your video’s helped me to improve my tong making skills, what improves my blacksmithing skills. I started about 3 years ago i now im Watching video’s with a different Point of view and thinking, your video’s Speeded up that proces. (Sorry for the type flaws, im. from the Neatherlands.
With much respect,
Luuk Derksen.
Working With Iron Nathan. And with little stuff i dont mean that in a denigrating way! Not at all!! Examples: Breaking the corners, then back to flat and then bending again, stock in a sweeping motion over the horne, some sunlight between horne and the workpiece, angles of your hammer, angles of your stock, like i said yesterday, the next step and back, tweeking material on a spot i dont think about and the result is that what needs to bend, bend, stuff like that! You have skills, i work hard (with more fun) to reach that level. Motivating in every way! Stuff like that.
Those prongs were a bugger to shape!
Great work, thank you for sharing!👍
Beautiful
A true artisan! Enjoyed the video that started with “what in the world is he making?” Would have enjoyed seeing the handle affixed as well. Keep it up!
Nice to see it's actually forging instead of just cutting out from sheet of metal
Lovely job.
Thanks mark!
Beautiful craftsmanship
Thank you!
It’s always a great day when you post another video! And this one is quite excellent! Cheers!
Thanks Kyle! Finally getting the video length down now so hopefully more soon!
Beautiful work!
I will have to check him out, thanks! I learned about the socketed hoe from a set of books by J.B.Stokes on blacksmithing. They were a set of training bulletins written for the FAO, UN(Food and Agricultural Organization). I've only found a couple, looking for the whole set. Tons of homestead type tooling, worth checking into, if you like this kind of work. Cheers! Can't wait for your next video! Have really cleaned up my forgings lately after watching your tong video...concentrating more on dedicated blows and less wasted energy!
This is very nice work and gives me lots of ideas, thanks for posting!
Thanks and you're very welcome!
What a wonderful job
Good video. The best: no jingle, no backpipe.
Thank you!
Amazing workmanship, love the touchmark!
Cheers aslob
absolutely beautiful work as always sir.well done!
Glad to see another video from you Nath, and as always a lovely clean bit of forge work, virtually faultless.
All that practice/work is paying dividends, great to see it.
Kudos
thank you Ian, Means a lot!
Beautiful work, as always. Hurry up with those shirts so we can all pitch in some support for the wonderful vids you're knocking out!
working on it dude, let me get more regular first so the value of investment is there in return. should be weekly from now on!
@@workingwithiron Looking forward to it! If I can help any, just holler.
And even so, you can't really find such ergonomic and well forged peices.
That (hydraulic?) press is terrifying. Please continue to use its powers for good.
yes hydraulic! she is an absolute beauty. I shall use its powers for good. never filmed it before but want to do a film of just squishiness now....
Parabéns, verdadeira obra de arte 👏👏👏👏
This is so satisfying to watch!
Thanks a lot, the pressing is super lush, gonna do a lot more projects with the squishyness!
Yes, please do!
very interesting implement great video
Cheers John!
Interesting tool. Great video Nathan.
Thanks white beard!
Nice work and video
Thanks
Thanks john!
Nicely done, Sir
Beautiful art, good job
Thank you!
You really can make anything with power tools these days.
👍 👍 La classe ......... un pure plaisir de regarder !! 😍
Nice Job!
All right, I'm gonna have to confiscate this one....
Amazing
Glad you are back with another vid, this turned out spectacular. Lovely lines, I know how hard it is to keep things lined up. Well done, Is that your shop mate you work in.?
Thanks Len! It's not my shop unfortunately I just work here, beautiful ain't it?
Wow!
Thank you 😊
That is a wicked looking tool. Nathan, my son would like to ask to use a bit of this video in a school report he is doing on scale when blacksmithing. Would that be alright?
When has he got to hand it? in as I'm going to be doing a cool video this weekend with more scale. But yes of course, thanks for asking.
@@workingwithiron We are going to be putting the presentation together this weekend as well. We'll watch for your video. Thank you very much. He is very excited.
great video
Thank you sir!
Great job now just some advice I think you should have made the socket more of a conical shape reason being so handing handle that's smaller at the bottom and larger at the top could slip into it for a pressure fit kind of like tomahawk handle is (over all great job)
It is made that way 👍
Îmi place foarte mult cum lucrați dar am o întrebare cu ce ungeți uneltele înainte sa fie gata
Looks really cool, but my mamma'd be afraid I'd put my eye out... (I'm no blacksmith, but I can recognize quality work, and that's quality work)
Thanks a lot Wayne! It would be on a longer stick so mamma would be ok!
Good Job !
Thank you!
Beautifully made! Is it just mild steel? Or is it some form of carbon steel
I would like to have a good look at the press. Maybe you could show it in a future video.
What are you planning to dig up with this monster? Entire trees? I assume that Thor has retired and taken up gardening. Only a god could wield this for more than a few minutes. Very impressive, but I need one about one quarter the size pls.
Just showing process is all. I am about process rather than product. I just made it for the sake of practice of the craft. Unfortunately I don't sell them.
Excellent Job! Do you have a Store anywhere, Etsy? If not, you should! I’d Love to Buy that little Hoe-Cultivator.
Thank you very much! I do have an etsy store, The Metal Range its called. Not much up there as i really want to steer away from commission work. I never film what i sale and also never sale things i don't test for a long time first. i prefer the craft as a craft rather than making something for the intent to sale.
I have a garden tool like this but it's made in Austria.
niceley crafted...but what´s with the round eye?
What is he putting on the hot steel to make it look this way ?
This is just what I need. Do you sell these?
I don't unfortunately, just made one for fun!
👏👏👏👏
I've been trying to get into blacksmithing like this for a long while now... I don't even know where to start, anyone have tips?
where in the world are you?
@@workingwithiron in Idaho, USA... there aren't any local smiths within 40 miles of me...
Buy a hydraulic press, a power hammer and a bunch of other items outside of the reach of most hobbyists.
@@sibco96 Not at all. Better off working with hand hammer and anvil for years first. it was 10 years before i touched a machine to forge anything so no you don't need all the gear, you need the idea though. I am not a hobbyist, i am a full time smith.
@@wjacob101 google forging events and forge ins around you. ive not got many ideas as you are over the pond from me but i would highly advise searching out forging events and maybe asking around on some blacksmithing forums/facebook and other smiths online if they know of any. go to one and meet and greet people and have a go, they usually let you, for free or a small fee.
All you need is a lump of metal as an anvil, a fire with an air source, a dakota fire hole with a hair drier works. some fuel next, wood, charcoal, coal, coke and a hammer. some steel long enough that you dont need tongs to hold onto it. some water for cooling work down. SAFETY GLASSES and ear protection. thats it. I will do a video on how to setup a basic forge for nothing soon as i get asked this a lot.
You dont need all the kit thats in this video, this is 50+years of collecting equipment to do specific jobs, mostly huge work so its needed in that field of work, like i said, a lump of metal, hammer and fire will do. the rest is training mind and body to produce that image you see in your head into the metals.... any more info just ask.
Great work and just what I need. do you sell these. There is no way that I have the skill to make one.
Thank you! I don't unfortunately, they would cost a fortune 😂
👍👍👍👍
What make is your air hammer?
What size is the hydraulic press?
No idea, and nobody knows but I would guess between 70-100 tonnes.
If that hook was inproved with it I could pick up them big rooks from my garden
Have you thought about training them?
I did convert a bait digger into a petty good rock grabber that helps for yard has a rock every 6 inch. Had a veg patch tilter keeps poping them out several bushels each year .Now my 4 year and the slow down but allready dug one bushel plus. My rock digger is more of a picker upper .I will post it on the Black Bear Forge conmuitive forum in a few more weeks hopefully ...watch for my posting
Thanks
@@workingwithiron roflmbo! Danged ol untrained rocks just popping up anywhere they want all willy nilly!
Ooopppps sorry, couldnt help myself. I busted out loud laugh to that one🤣
Blessings for you now,
Crawford out 🧙♂️
What's the forked end for?
How do we find an image of the original artifact? I'm a historical reenactor who focuses on the Viking age, I'm always looking for new reproduction projects.
not sure of location as i sketched it from a pic off the internet a few years ago. if i find it then i shall add the link here.
🇧🇷👊🏻👊🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Would like to see this made without auto hammer
Why not forge a cutting edge on it also?
i would if i was using it but as i just wanted to forge it for fun and practice i never bothered to put one on, i would grind it in if i ever decide to use it.
Yeah I remember my grandfather using one of these back in the early 70's to help weed the flower bed,and turn mulch.
Don't see what's so viking about it; more views I guess,but whatever...... "Neat!"
It was from a sketch I did of an old Viking tool, wether it was truly Viking or not, who knows?? I don't fish for views, just sharing the craft for free is all.
Thanks davo!
Can I get this
Pure Forging ... !?? and the first thing you see is a hydraulic press and a power hammer ... I think that the two of us, look a little bit different at what "pure forging" is ...
nevertheless is it a great piece of work.
Pure forging refers to the lack of babble and advertising. Just straight forging.
The vikings went gardening???
And drank tea.....
🇪🇨👍🏻
